At the Library, Distracted by Charlie the Around the World Cyclist

Currently sitting at the back corner of tech library.

I should be studying for 331 polymer class right now for Wednesday's midterm. But I can't focus.
I wasted an hour looking at this website: http://7lee.com/xe/home
ahhh.....I'm so jealous of his lifestyle. mad respect. I think Charlie is the closest thing to a role model to me right now.
Read about how he completed a cross-country bicycle trip in Australia. AUSTRALIA! so jealous.
I also just started to write this because I am inspired by his blog.

The more I think about it, what can't I do that? Why don't I do a cross-country bike trip? I don't any reason not to. But I'm not sure if I'm physically fit--that's not a problem, I'll train, maybe try a day trip to see how I do. 

Alright when should I do this.......too bad I'll be in South Africa for this summer. I guess that means I'll have to do it after I graduate. ok. Maybe before I do a legit cross-country one, maybe I'll do a mini one. Maybe from my house in NJ to Washington DC? That's a pretty short distance. Afterwards maybe to Chicago?

I need to find people that are more experienced in this. I think I'll continue to keep up with Charlie's trip, and maybe look for online community for cross-country biking here in the US.

For now, lets start small. Who wants to go bike to Chicago this coming reading/finals week?
